No, but the money they pay lobbyists and contribute to the NRA to represent their interests may have something to do with why she was able to own one to begin with.........

(If she'd never owned one to begin with, he couldn't have taken it.....imagine that.)

Another odd tidbit - A spokesman for Cerberus Group confirmed that the father of Stephen Feinberg, the founder of Cerberus Group, lives in Newtown and its current chairman is Dan Quayle.

I often read the American Rifleman. I have never seen an ad that glorifies violence.

Really? Wow. (Who cares.)

Have you seen our countries stats for gun related violence, Pete?

It's a f**king disgrace, a point of national shame that half or more of the American populace refuses to face. If you didn't know better, you'd think we were fighting an internal war.

They cleaned up their act after the "jack booted thugs" flap in the mid-1990s.

IMO the NRA should hold it's ground with respect to legislation at the federal level and also state that we need to change the public discussion of gun ownership to a more healthy level. Denounce doomsday prepping as a rationalization for gun ownership simply because the daily risks of gun ownership saturation in communities don't balance with the improbability of a doomsday event. The NRA should also denounce leaving guns around the house and step up advocating keeping them in safes and limiting access to the safes to adults of sound mind. They also need to remind gun owners that they are more likely to kill someone they know than a stranger in self defense.

Your sarcastic distortions of what other people post are really tiresome.

Sarcasm is a poorly aimed fart.

It just stinks up the room without really shitting on the target.

So, because a lady didn't lock her guns up, take them from other people?

I see a horrible thing like this and many folks simply blame guns. However it doesn't work. There were guns before...

And based on these arguments what's the point of the assault weapons 'ban'? PLENTY of people will still have assault weapons. And if I see that gun shows will be shuttered I will stock a cabinet myself.

Eb it was jack booted thugs who shot an unarmed women through the forehead with a baby in her arms.

Only the government and their proxies are worthy of gun ownership.

Perhaps a stimulus plan would help. The statistics from Austrialia are intriguing.
